 A short wave convertor converts the shortwave broadcasts to a
 frequency within the medium wave radio bands, so you can listen to SW
 broadcasts on a medium wave AM radio, such as an ordinary AM/FM
 table radio. They used to be common, but I never bothered with
 one. Now that I am retired I am interested in getting back into
 SWL and would like to have a converter for one of the nice table
 radios I have.
